then till the ground?
All would drink, but who'd brew the ale?
"Half naked and starv'd, in the streets
We should wander about, _sans culottes_;
Would Liberty find us in meats,
Or Equality lengthen our coats?
That knaves are for levelling, don't wonder,
We may easily guess at their views;
Pray, who'd gain the most by the plunder?
Why, they that have nothing to lose.
"Then away with this nonsense and stuff,
Full of treason, confusion and blood;
Every Briton has freedom enough
To be happy as long as he's good.
To be rul'd by a glorious king,
To be govern'd by jury and laws;
Then let us be happy and sing,
'This, this, is true Liberty's cause'."
